We enjoyed the home but the Tv systems and WiFi is terrible. WiFi is too slow and TVs don’t work.

The place is reasonably clean, as far as rentals go. Here are a few things to watch out for. We staying during Summer. The AC is weak and upstairs can get hot (need to open windows). There's broken shower in kid's shower. Kitchen stools are falling apart and might break soon; we fell once on it. The management communication is pretty poor. Their slow responses forced me to pay for my own internet (still haven't refunded me back yet) and doing tech support for them. I mentioned the things that are broken. They show concerns and responds, but no actual fixes. This place must have been rented out for at least a decade by looking at expired items in the pantry, but apparently I must be one of the first to suggest these issues as the responses make it seems they've never heard of them.
